C. OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL LAND USE
Site and building design features can be incorporated into office and industrial developments to provide employees with more effective, convenient access to transit service and increase a development's transit serviceability. Building placement, walkway layout and roadway design are important factors to consider when designing a development this is compatible with transit service. Often, development building setbacks are too great, discouraging transit use and prohibiting transit vehicles from providing direct service. Or, walkways to transit stops and perimeter streets are not provided, hindering pedestrian access to buildings and transit stops.
The following design techniques are offered as a means of eliminating barriers to public transportation. These techniques increase transit accessibility and offer benefits such as expanded labor pools, reduced traffic congestion in and around the development and decreased parking demand.
